A trending campaign poster has sparked widespread discussion on social media as it features two prominent Nigerian political figures: former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi. The poster showcases the duo as presidential and vice-presidential hopefuls for the forthcoming 2027 general election.
The image, which quickly went viral, was first shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the user @PH_Socials. The post suggested that a potential political alliance may be forming between the two powerful opposition figures, even though they contested against each other in the 2023 elections under separate parties.
Despite the growing buzz and the release of the campaign materials by some enthusiastic supporters, there has been no formal declaration or confirmation from either Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi regarding any joint ticket or future political alliance. Both politicians have remained silent on the matter.
However, the development has ignited conversations across the country, particularly among the youth and political analysts, with many speculating on what such a merger could mean for the 2027 election landscape. Some citizens have interpreted it as a grassroots move to pressure the two candidates into working together to unseat the current ruling party.
In a short video attached to the post, a group of passionate youths are seen proudly displaying a large banner that boldly reads “Atiku-Obi 2027,” suggesting that they are rallying early support for what they believe could be a winning ticket.
